New geometric framework for reinforcement learning unveiled

Researchers have introduced a novel geometric framework for understanding reinforcement learning, termed the "dually flat geometry of planning as inference." This approach re-characterizes the occupancy measure of reinforcement learning by embedding the planning criterion into the dynamics via a resetting planning process. The resulting statistical manifold, whose affine charts are visitation probabilities and log-policies, offers a new perspective on decision-making in reinforcement learning and theoretical neuroscience.

    The Dually Flat Geometry of Planning as Inference

    arXiv:2609.04005v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present an alternative characterization of the occupancy measure of reinforcement learning, obtained by embedding the planning criterion into the dynamics through a resetting planning process. Its stationary measure, which we ter…
